Welcome to the central help repository for the PC Gaming Shelter. This page serves as a directory for our Guardians and Archivists to maintain the site’s data and interface.

If you are new to the team, please start with the Guardian Workflow section below.

🛡️ Core Documentation

To keep the archive structured and professional, we use several custom systems. Choose a category below based on the task you are performing:

  • Help:Infoboxes: How our data forms work, how semantic properties are linked and how to use the Forms to input new records into the Vault.
  • Help:Main Page widgets: How to change the Video of the Month, the Archive Statistics and the Upcoming Events calendar.
  • Help:System messages: Editing the Sidebar, changing the site tagline or updating the social media icons at the top of the page.

📋 Quick Links for Guardians

Most of your daily work as an archivist will happen in these three locations:

  • All Forms: The hub for all data forms (Games, Mods, People, etc.).
  • RecentChanges: Monitor the latest updates to ensure the archive stays accurate.
  • All Pages: A technical list of every file, template, and document stored in the Shelter.

⚠️ Technical Support

If you encounter a bug—such as a broken search table, a property that won't link, or a font scaling issue—please do not attempt to fix the CSS or JavaScript yourself. Instead, report the issue via the Support link in the sidebar.
